Every time we'd go to Detroit, at the Majestic hotel, standing in front, with his Italian shyt on and amber glasses: Malcolm X. Detroit Red. That's where we bought our dope. It was before he went to prison."



Malcolm was in the streets in Harlem and was called Detroit red because he was from Michigan. Now I have to call bullshyt on the rest of his stories

 

[PortCityProphet]

Great read. interesting life

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

Still not done. Fantastic interview though

 

[semicko82]

Q is the GOAT producer. The sequencing and production on Thriller is perfect.

 

[semicko82]

Michael Jackson didn’t write his own songs
Michael Jackson couldn’t play an instrument, let alone damn near all of them.
Prince didn’t have creepy personal theme park built to lure unsuspecting children to sleepovers.

Prince >>>>>>>>> Michael Jackson

don't disrespect the GOAT. Go back and listen to lil uzi

 

[GPBear]

Pure ignorance and hogwash. MJ wrote plenty of songs and produced them as well. He would come up with the melodies himself and relay them to musicians. No he didn't play an instrument, who has time to learn instruments when you're recording and performing around the clock since 8 years old?
And negged.

Prince...

That's why he's better, stupid.

And yeah, I know. He'd hum the melodies onto cassette and say "play this"

I bet if he stopped spending so much time luring kids into his basement and picked up a guitar, he would've had some pretty decent chops.

There were some in it but some stuff that was gold.

Yh I got duck tales vibes from some of the stories. The Malcolm one was the most standout ducktale IMO.

The bolded is a good point.

LOL @ conveniently not bolding the part where I said "when recording and doing shows around the clock" What was 8 year old Prince's workload again?
